Re: Up and Monsters, Inc. deals (Part 2)
I think that email was just a form letter...as another poster mentioned, amazon sells food, so I'm sure that's why they mention food stamps. Other than the food stamps reference, the rest of the email was entirely boilerplate.

It seems their CSRs have gotten wise to the Monsters, Inc. coupon, and have formulated a new response:

Re: Up and Monsters, Inc. deals (Part 2)
Yesterday I get a refund from Amazon.com on my order for G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra & The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3 Blu-rays. Reason for refund: Shipping address is undeliverable, WTF. This year alone I have made 137 orders with Amazon.com and all of them were shipped to the same address without any problems. Heck just 3 days ago I recevied a 1terabyte HD and the day after that I received a Video Card. Not counting the more than 800 or more orders I placed with Amazon.com. When I check the Amazon.com tracking it shows it is still on the way and delivery date is 11/09/09.

Re: Up and Monsters, Inc. deals (Part 2)
I sent in an "email" similar to Brent L's this morning asking for the $8 adjustment on Monster's Inc. and this afternoon they replied and gave me the adjustment as an "exception" even though they "are not a participating dealer for this particular promotion." Thanks to all those who helped in the wording of the "email" I sent, especially Brent L.

I wasn't going to try for the $8 promo, I figured my price was awesome already. But since so many people had already gotten it with relatively no issue, I figured I'd try. Well they definetly gave it to me.
New total = $6.49 shipped.
Bitchin'

Re: Up and Monsters, Inc. deals (Part 2)
Mine shipped today.
I paid $32.
That's a price that I can live with. No need for me to play their system above and beyond their original promotion(s).
I'm not slamming those of you who did (
), I just hope that the promotions continue (
).

Re: Up and Monsters, Inc. deals (Part 2)
I just got an email from Amazon saying I could not use the snowwhitethanks discount because it was only offered to people who purchased the DVD of Snow White and not the BluRay...
Uh... I'm not even going to bother explaining that one to the rep. I got a great deal with the 2 $10 coupons.

Re: Up and Monsters, Inc. deals (Part 2)
Earlier today on the amazon home page where they have advertisements they had the 8 dollar off monsters inc listed, currently there now it shows the dvd set for the shield. at another point it had an advertisement of the road comming to theatres. i havent seen it since earlier today but for a short time atleast they did have an advertisement for the 8.00 off monsters inc that said click here on the amazon home page.
and obviously i meant "they need to check out their website" i was typing the post on my phone at the time, which has predictive text and sometimes as iam sure you know when your typing on a touch screen phone things might not always come out the way they are intended to. (for example accidentally haveing a post say right instead of write, or there instead of their)

If you enter promo code OBAMA2012, you'll get all Blu-ray movies for free if you simply agree to pay Amazon back at some undefined point in the future.

Up DVD in Blu-ray set
Can someone confirm that the DVD in the Up Blu-ray set is the same enhanced version with extra material that you get with the 2 disc DVD set? And that the digital copy is on DVD? I don't have a Blu-ray player at the moment but given the pricing it doesn't pay to buy the 2 disc DVD set when the Blu-ray set is the same price (and has better deals for extra stuff).

I canceled my Amazon order when they wouldn't take the $8.00 Monsters Inc coupon. Mine was sitting at $32.98, but was showing an estimated delivery of November 23-Dec 1. A full two weeks after the release date? No, thanks.

Re: Up and Monsters, Inc. deals (Part 2)
This is the only time I've fired off tons of emails for something like this. I'm not a SD or FW enough of a person to spend half my life doing it, trying to shave off an extra quarter or two off of something I don't need in the first place.

Re: Up and Monsters, Inc. deals (Part 2)
Well, I emailed them about both the snowwhitethanks and Monster's, Inc. $8 coupon and they gave me the former but not the latter. I feel bad emailing them again about the $8 discount because $23 is already extremely cheap and they were really nice and understanding. However, I might ask them about the BD Disney coupon to bring my order down to $12.

Re: Up and Monsters, Inc. deals (Part 2)
I placed Up!, Monsters Inc., and Snow White on BD in my cart, and then emailed Amazon about the snowwhitethanks coupon. Here was their response:
So $37 for all three BD's with standard shipping. Thank You Amazon. You'll have my business on Black Friday this year!
Hello,
Thank you for contacting us regarding the Snow White "Thank You" offer. This was a very limited offer and unfortunately your order didn't meet all of the qualifications for receiving this promotional offer. Specifically,this offer was only valid for customers who purchased the DVD version of Snow White. It was not offered to customers who ordered the Blu-Ray version.
I'm sorry this information was not clear when you placed the order. To compensate for this inconvenience, I've reduced the total order cost by $10.00. The new total order cost is $37.94.
I hope this helps. We hope to see you again soon.

Re: Up and Monsters, Inc. deals (Part 2)
Hey there, I need your help! I posted on the forum under a new account "Killjoy", completely trying to be humorous after all the crazy deals going around. Unfortunately, apparently my tone did not carry over in text. I immediately, upon seeing it was not being understood as humor, tried to go back and post under my normal account, cinemaphile, to explain this massive misunderstanding, only to find my account has been locked out! (the post following mine did the exact same thing, but he managed to add a "p.s." to explain himself - mine was locked before I got the chance). So it just keeps growing and growing, with people getting more and more pissed at me, when I fully intended to explain how I meant it. Hell, my "location" is listed as cinemaphile! It has my REAL screenname right there for people to see, I wasnt hiding! PLEASE pass this on to the forum, as I cannot get through at the moment. I am truly sorry for this misunderstanding - as you can see from my profile, I am a regular contributor and deal-finder in the forums. (and no, of course I did not actual contact anyone at Amazon)
I, for one, believe him. Maybe next time he will use a smiley after one of these kind of posts.
BTW, if I may speak for the moderators, the reason that you're currently locked out isn't for stating that you informed Amazon about the alleged abuse. It's for creating multiple accounts(that's a no-no). Hopefully you'll be back up and posting soon.

Re: Up and Monsters, Inc. deals (Part 2)
I guess the best deal other than Amazon is Fry's. Fry's have both for $33.72 total so you can use the $10 UP coupon along with the $8 Monster's, Inc coupon for a grand total for $15.72 without the hassle of convincing CS. Since my order won't ship until around November 16, I might try the Fry's route and cancel my Amazon order.
